UK Student Economists - US-Iran Geopolitics & Energy Impact

𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗧. 🌍📈 I’m incredibly proud to announce that I have officially been appointed as the Regional Chapter Director (UK) for the International Economics Post — an international student-led platform dedicated to publishing insightful economic, financial, and geopolitical analysis from young writers across the world. This opportunity represents far more than just a title to me. It is a chance to contribute towards a growing global network of students who are genuinely passionate about economics, finance, politics, and current affairs — whilst helping amplify student voices and perspectives on some of the most significant global issues shaping our world today. Over the past few months, I have become increasingly interested in the intersection between economics, geopolitics, and financial markets, particularly how international conflict and policy decisions influence industries and global businesses. As part of this role, I will be continuing to publish analytical articles exploring these themes and encouraging more students to engage with economic journalism and discussion. One of my most recent articles focused on the firms generating billions from the ongoing US-Iran conflict, analysing how geopolitical instability and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz could significantly impact global oil transportation, energy markets, and multinational corporations. Writing this piece allowed me to explore the wider economic consequences of international conflict and how businesses adapt — and profit — during periods of global uncertainty. I’m extremely excited for what is ahead in this role, particularly the opportunity to collaborate with ambitious students, expand the UK chapter, and help create a platform where young people can confidently share their ideas, research, and analysis with an international audience. If you are passionate about: • Economics 📊 • Finance 💹 • Politics 🌐 • Geopolitics 📰 • Current affairs 🧠 • Journalism ✍️ —and would be interested in publishing articles or getting involved with the International Economics Post, please feel free to reach out to me directly. I would love to connect with more students who are enthusiastic about these areas and help provide opportunities for their work to be published internationally. Excited for this next chapter. 🚀 My great appreciation goes to our president Carl Wiefel and my accomplice Siddhant Nayak and I wish the best for everyone in their future endeavours!
